New South Wales deploys drones at 70 beaches to monitor for sharks after attacks
Source Summary
Seventy beaches across New South Wales are now part of a $34 million dawn-to-dusk drone monitoring program designed to detect sharks and encourage swimmers to return to the water following recent shark attacks. Surf Life Saving New South Wales operates the drones, which an expert has described as 'the best technology we have at the moment' for this purpose.
Why it matters
The program directly addresses public safety concerns following shark attacks by deploying technology to detect sharks and restore confidence in beach swimming.
